25 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

2

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies one or more interaction criteria, wherein presenting the computer-generated content is in response to determining that the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria.

3

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising determining a temporal characteristic associated with the interaction event, wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether or not the temporal characteristic satisfies a temporal criterion.

4

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the computer-generated content is indicative of the temporal characteristic.

5

5. The method of claim 2, wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether or not the semantic identifier satisfies an object type criterion.

6

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the interaction event indicates a scene change with respect to the physical environment, and wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether the scene change satisfies a scene change criterion.

7

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the computer-generated content includes an indicator that is indicative of the interaction event.

8

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device includes one or more environmental sensors that obtain environmental data characterizing the physical environment, and wherein the extremity tracking function is based on the environmental data.

9

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more environmental sensors include at least one of an image sensor or a depth sensor.

10

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising detecting, via a second input device, a second input directed to a second location within the physical environment, wherein the second location is identified by an eye tracking function based on the second input, and wherein determining the interaction event is further based on a semantic identifier that is associated with a portion of the second location.

11

11. The method of claim 1, wherein the electronic device corresponds to a head-mountable device (HMD) that includes a see-through display, and wherein the see-through display permits ambient light from the physical environment through the see-through display.

12

12. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the semantic identifier via computer vision.

13

13. The method of claim 1, wherein the computer-generated content is presented at a second location different from the first location.

14

14. The method of claim 1, wherein determining the interaction event includes determining that the physical feature is less than a threshold distance from the first location of the extremity.

16

16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies one or more interaction criteria, and wherein presenting the computer-generated content is in response to determining that the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria.

17

17. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for determining a temporal characteristic associated with the interaction event, and wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether or not the temporal characteristic satisfies a temporal criterion.

18

18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the computer-generated content is indicative of the temporal characteristic.

19

19. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether or not the semantic identifier satisfies an object type criterion.

20

20. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the interaction event indicates a scene change with respect to the physical environment, and wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether the scene change satisfies a scene change criterion.

21

21. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the computer-generated content includes an indicator that is indicative of the interaction event.

23

23. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 22, wherein the one or more programs include instructions for determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies one or more interaction criteria, and wherein presenting the computer-generated content is in response to determining that the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria.

24

24. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 23, wherein the one or more programs including instructions for determining a temporal characteristic associated with the interaction event, and wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether or not the temporal characteristic satisfies a temporal criterion.

25

25. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 24, wherein the computer-generated content is indicative of the temporal characteristic.

26

26. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 23, wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether or not the semantic identifier satisfies an object type criterion.

27

27. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 23, wherein the interaction event indicates a scene change with respect to the physical environment, and wherein determining whether or not the interaction event satisfies the one or more interaction criteria includes determining whether the scene change satisfies a scene change criterion.

28

28. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 22, wherein the computer-generated content includes an indicator that is indicative of the interaction event.
